The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1416

[1416. Chapter 1345 Baby]

Fang Jifan followed Wang Jinyuan to the research institute excitedly.

Here, it is already overcrowded.

People from medical schools and engineering schools came.

Su Yue was extremely excited. When everyone saw Fang Jifan coming, she suppressed her excitement and came to pay tribute to Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan was too lazy to pay attention to them.

Does Fang Jifan care about these hypocritical people?

Immediately afterwards, he entered a closed secret room.

An instrument was displayed in front of him in this secret room.

This is a pure copper mirror with a small lens inside, and a frame was made. The small lens was set on the frame, and a copper plate was installed under the lens. A small hole was drilled on it to allow the light to pass through. Reflects what is observed.

I have to say, this microscope is somewhat primitive.

But even so.

But at least the theoretical direction is right.

On the copper plate facing the lens, there is water.

Fang Jifan stepped forward and squinted one eye to observe.

The raindrops in the copper plate suddenly became unrecognizable under the microscope. In front of Fang Jifan’s eyes, it was as if the raindrops had become the whole world, and countless “bugs” were squirming in the world.

Fang Jifan took a deep breath, raised his eyes, and asked the person behind him, “How many times can it be magnified?”

“About three hundred times, but… I haven’t calculated it yet.” Su Yue said happily.

The tiny worm… was indeed observed.

This is truly theory turned reality.

Although the micro-worm theory has been accepted before, some people still question it.

After all, people believe that seeing is believing.

Not only that, once microscopic insects can be observed, then… this will be of great benefit to future research on microscopic insects.

What does it look like, are there differences between them, which ones are beneficial and which ones are harmful.

Even the bugs in the sick body are different from those in healthy people.

What kind of medicinal solution can kill certain bugs in a targeted manner, and what kind of changes will it bring to people.

Among them, there are really too many things that can be observed through this microscope.

Three hundred times, three hundred times.

The people from the engineering college nearby also all turned red with excitement.

This is a real artifact.

The more in-depth the so-called engineering research is, the more it begins to be refined. Even many mechanical parts have extremely high requirements for precision. It is said that a slight difference is a thousand miles away, but if you want to make precision parts, it will greatly Improving the efficiency of machinery is extremely difficult.

Because people have discovered that the human eye has a limit. A line, under the naked eye, is straight. But if it is magnified ten times, people will notice that it begins to be a little skewed. If it is magnified a hundred times, this line will look a little skewed. The line may be bumpy or uneven.

In the past, craftsmen used magnifying glasses to greatly improve the level of precision parts, but even so, it was still not enough.

Especially for machine tools that have high precision requirements, if their accuracy cannot be guaranteed, only God knows what the produced and tempered parts will look like.

Therefore, the School of Engineering has always been in a bottleneck period, and it is too difficult to make further progress.

Because you can’t even figure out whether the accuracy is accurate, and you can’t observe the problem with the naked eye or a magnifying glass. So, how can you go into deeper fields to study.

Three hundred times…

Fang Jifan thought to himself, it is still very primitive.

But…for this era, it is completely enough.

If the voyage to the West opened a new door for everyone and made Ming realize that the world was so vast, which gave rise to new desires and impulses, then this microscope also led everyone to a In this world, this subtle observation can improve everyone’s understanding, and under this understanding, countless fields will develop rapidly.

Fang Jifan was about to say something.

There was a noise outside: “Where is it? Where is it? Let me take a look.”

Zhu Houzhao was wearing an undercoat and wearing shoes. This guy was taking a lunch break. After hearing the news, he didn’t wear any clothes and stood up wearing shoes. , running all the way.

But…it seems…he isn’t quite used to dressing either.

I’m used to being exposed.

Zhu Houzhao pushed the frail Su Yue away and came closer excitedly. He looked left and right, looking at the microscope. He didn’t have time to say hello to Fang Jifan. After studying for a long time, he waited until his eyes passed through the lens and saw the water droplets. When the world came to an end, Zhu Houzhao exclaimed: “Haha…haha…baby, this is a treasure. This thing is worth millions of gold.”

Fang Jifan didn’t know if his ‘gold’ was the same as His Majesty’s ‘gold’ Same unit of measurement.

Zhu Houzhao was very excited: “If this is the case, then… the Steam Research Institute will have a lot of potential, and there will be… many components, haha… many components.”

Many parts of the steam engine can be machined and milled. To manufacture.

These days, Zhu Houzhao has focused on materials. He specially organized a group of people to constantly experiment with various materials.

However, due to visual problems, many components can still only be polished manually.

The reason is that the accuracy of machine tools and milling machines cannot be guaranteed, and the accuracy of the components they produce is even worse.

Ordinary components are fine, but if they are components with higher requirements, they must be carefully polished by craftsmen with extremely high skills.

As a result, the output of many machines is extremely low, because such skilled craftsmen are few and far between.

But now…

“Come here, come here, take this mirror away for me and move it to the Steam Research Institute.”

Zhu Houzhao did not regard himself as an outsider at all.

As a result, Su Yue and others looked at Zhu Houzhao with resentful expressions.

This look… looks like an abandoned woman who was abandoned in the end.

Fang Jifan coughed: “Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious, Your Highness, take your time. The research institute here will naturally try their best to build a few more units, and after some time, they will naturally send the things.”

Zhu Houzhao’s face was red: “Haha… This is a half-month period. In fact, there are many things in my mind, but unfortunately, they cannot be realized. Now with this, those wonderful ideas may become a reality, Lao Fang. If you want a reward, give it a big reward.”

Fang Jifan said: “Of course, giving them ten million gold is not an exaggeration. But…”

Fang Jifan pulled Zhu Houzhao aside and said, “Would you like to report it to your Majesty? The report is the best. Your Majesty has high hopes for His Royal Highness. With this contribution, Your Highness… will be able to feel proud.”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Fang Jifan.

Lao Fang is very kind.

He patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: “But, father, do you understand? Even if it is moved in front of him, in his eyes, it is just a trick.”

Although the prince was suspected of slandering his father, Fang Jifan He nodded and expressed understanding.

“It seems like we have to think of a way.”

Zhu Houzhao said, “Let me take this thing first and make something. Then, my father will understand.”

“Oh.” Fang Jifan said: “Actually, I also have an idea.”

“Huh?” Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan: “You also want to create something.”

“Of course.” Fang Jifan said: “I, Fang Jifan, am the head of Xishan Academy, thousands of people. How can the ancestor of the students lag behind others?”

Zhu Houzhao said happily: “Well, I want to open my eyes.”

With the microscope, Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood. Maybe for many people, this is just a rare thing. But to an expert like Zhu Houzhao, this thing is worth a thousand dollars.

At present, the field of lenses has entered a new stage, and the next step is to continue to use the principles of microscopes to continue to achieve higher magnifications of carbon.

And this… is just a matter of time.

The application of microscopes will also explode with huge potential.

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao treated Mr. Wen to a table of food and wine at noon and drank some wine.

Zhu Houzhao spoke excitedly again, while Fang Jifan was thinking about what he wanted to make.

………

A fleet has passed through Quanzhou in a mighty manner.

Liu Wenshan and others, after transporting a boatload of gold and silver coins out of the Franconian Sea, had already ordered the Ming Dynasty’s fleet to meet them in North Africa.

In this way, Fran’s ships were moving back and forth, and now… these dozens of ships were slowly cruising along the southeastern coast while eating extremely deep water.

This trip is like a dream.

Liu Wenshan stood on the side of the ship. Although he could not see his hometown with the naked eye, he could not help but be filled with emotion when he saw the sea water of his hometown.

Only those who have gone to sea can know the greatness of Junior Brother Xu.

The loneliness and pain in this sea are enough to drive anyone who is not determined enough to go crazy.

Liu Wenshan carried a “big vat” made of bamboo tubes, and when he arrived in Quanzhou, he finally had tea. He no longer liked sipping tea bit by bit from the tea cup. He was so greedy that he drank the tea in big gulps. All.

Therefore, he developed the habit of drinking tea in large quantities. He found a large bamboo tube, filled it with tea, and carried it on his back, feeling at ease.

Take a sip of tea and finish it.

Liu Jin ate broad beans and came from behind: “Godfather, if we go further, that is, in the next day, I’m afraid we will reach Tianjin Guard.”

“Yes.”

Liu Wenshan nodded and sighed: “I don’t know my mentor. “

What’s going on now? He’s not in good health and is sick. I’m really afraid something will happen to him.”

“No, my god is very good. Even if everyone in the world is dead, he can still be alive and kicking.” At this point, he seems very confident.

Liu Wenshan: “…”

“This time, we have fulfilled our mission.” Liu Wenshan sighed: “At least, I can give an explanation to my mentor. Liu Jin…”

“Godfather…”

During this journey, Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin Almost dependent on each other.

Now…it’s really not that father and son are better than father and son.

The two looked at each other, with different emotions in their eyes.
